As we stand on the doorstep of August, more and more position battles are ending, and more players are beginning to step up.
Following SEC Media Days, Athlon Sports released their rankings for the SEC’s top quarterbacks. Arkansas’ [autotag]KJ Jefferson[/autotag] may have gotten the shaft when it came to landing a spot on either of the preseason All-SEC teams, but he earns respect on Athlon Sports’ list.
In the ranking of all 14 projected starters in the SEC, Jefferson lands at No. 3 on the list.
According to Athlon’s list, Jefferson is only behind Hendon Hooker of Tennessee, and the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Bryce Young of Alabama. He checked in ahead of other key quarterbacks such as Kentucky’s Will Levis, Georgia’s Stetson Bennett, and transfer Spencer Rattler of South Carolina.
